[Mischa] That’s a huge family compared to those in Nacerma. We don’t know anyone with that many children.<\/p>\n
[Aadi] What are your vitals?<\/p>\n
[Glory] I am 14.\u00a0Female. And human, but I live on Tullah, the planet closest to Earth in the spectrum.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi] What part do you play in the story?<\/p>\n [Glory] I am the unlikely heroine.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi] How would you describe your book?<\/p>\n [Glory] Family drama meets fantasy and science fiction<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi] Tell me about where you live?<\/p>\n [Glory] Tullah and Earth are very different, yet very much alike in appearance and human development. Their\u00a0<\/strong>inhabitants know similar hardships, hopes and dreams. Separated by the vastness of time and space,\u00a0<\/strong>the planetary sisters have never met, yet they spin toward the same inevitable end. At least they did\u00a0<\/strong>until the day I set Tullah on a strange new course.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi] Who do you live with?<\/p>\n [Glory] I live on a dilapidated farm with my alcoholic father and five rowdy siblings. The older ones like to\u00a0<\/strong>push me around, but little George adores me because I look out for him when Dad gets mean. My\u00a0<\/strong>grandparents moved in a few years ago to get Child Protective Services off of our back. Unfortunately,\u00a0<\/strong>Grandpa\u2019s dementia is getting worse and Nana\u2019s eyesight is failing. It\u2019s probably only a matter of time\u00a0<\/strong>before that lady from child protective services comes snooping around again.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi]What\u2019s the most important thing in your life right now?<\/p>\n [Glory] Keeping Child Protective Services from breaking my family apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi] That sounds scary.<\/p>\n [Mischa] What’s the worst thing someone ever did to you?<\/p>\n [Glory] They kidnapped me, took my to a strange new world, and made my own worst fears come to life. Talk\u00a0<\/strong>about scary!<\/strong><\/p>\n [Mischa] What’s the worst thing you’ve done to someone?<\/p>\n [Glory] I held a mystical stone for ransom from its guardians, inadvertently risking the lives of millions if aliens\u00a0<\/strong>on another world.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Mischa] Read any good books lately?<\/p>\n [Glory] Rocks, Minerals and Gemstones Guide for Intermediate to Advanced Rockhounds<\/strong><\/p>\n [Mischa] I want to talk to you after this interview and get a few suggestions for books.<\/p>\n [Aadi] What type of places do you hang out in?<\/p>\n [Glory] I love exploring the winding tunnels and caverns below Queen\u2019s Mesa with my best buddy, Clash.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi] What’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?<\/p>\n [Glory] That\u2019s easy\u2014the mystical Elboni Stone.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Aadi]\u00a0Do you have any magical items? Where did you get them?<\/p>\n [Glory] Again, the Elboni, which I found during a spelunking expedition through Queen\u2019s Mesa. The problem\u00a0<\/strong>is that its magic can only be accessed by the three guardians of the stone. Hence, the reason I decided\u00a0<\/strong>to hold it for ransom\u2014a magical wish in exchange for the Elboni\u2019s return.<\/strong><\/p>\n [Mischa] Okay. Last question. Who would play you in the movie?<\/p>\n [Glory] Bailee Madison, but she would need to gain twenty or thirty pounds for the role.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi, it’s Aadi.
